POEM TITLE
I KNOW A PLACE
POEM
I know a world to the north
Where the oceans knock
I know a place by the sea
Somewhere around the west
A place with a handful of men
A place on whose shores
The sea is gentle
Upon which the sun is graceful
I know a place
A place ears have not heard
Eyes have not seen
Foot have not trod
Mind has not discerned
I know a place
A place with a pub for lobsters
I won't speak for them
But everything therein
Goes down as smooth as oil
As fine as honey
I know a place
A place on whose shores
The only ship that never sailed
Never kissed the surface harbor
I know a place
A place where light and dark
Cohabit beautifully
I know a place
A place called Blackness
And it's on the sea
